Bbaale's contract situation has attracted considerable attention, with several clubs expressing interest in securing his services.
Tanzanian club Kagera Sugar is reportedly leading the race to sign striker Bbaale, who is currently without a contract after his previous deal with SC Villa expired in June.
While SC Villa and Bbaale have engaged in multiple rounds of negotiations, there is growing belief that Kagera Sugar may have moved ahead in the pursuit of the player's signature.
Bbaale's contract situation has attracted considerable attention, with several clubs expressing interest in securing his services.
However, Kagera Sugar has emerged as the frontrunner in terms of the player's preference, as sources suggest that they have presented a more enticing offer compared to SC Villa.
Having engaged in discussions with both clubs, Bbaale faces a decision that could shape the next phase of his career.
The talks with SC Villa have been ongoing, and there remains a possibility that he could agree to a new contract with his former club, despite missing the first days of the club’s pre-season training.
The player's goal-scoring prowess and ability to make an impact on the field make him an attractive prospect for any team. His experience and skill set could prove invaluable in bolstering the attacking options of either club.
Bbaale made his mark at Villa last season since joining the club from the Masaza Cup in 2021, where he finished as the tournament's top scorer.
Initially signing a two-year contract, his first season at the club was marred by limited playing time due to injury.
However, the left-footed striker showcased his true potential last season, playing a pivotal role as SC Villa launched an unlikely title challenge.
Despite falling short of clinching the league title on the final day of the season, Bbaale's contributions were invaluable.
He netted an impressive 12 goals, finishing just one goal behind the eventual top scorer, Allan Kayiwa.
For Bbaale himself, the decision will not be an easy one. Evaluating the various factors such as contract terms, playing opportunities, and the overall project of the clubs will play a crucial role in determining his next destination.
Ultimately, he will need to choose the club that offers the best platform for him to continue his development and contribute to the team's success.
